Former Boston Celtics duo carry Germany to 109-107 win over Lithuania in double OT in EuroBasket play

Germany’s chemistry and Celtics alumni continue to fuel their EuroBasket success.

Two former Boston Celtics were instrumental to the German National Team’s 109-107 double-overtime victory over the Lithuanian National Team in EuroBasket play on Sunday.

Germany received an outstanding game from former Celtics floor general Dennis Schroder, who put up 25 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and a steal in just over 40 minutes of floor time.

Schroder shot just 37% from the field, 20% from deep and 75% from the line. He committed four turnovers and four fouls in one of his less efficient games in recent international play, but he found other ways to help his team.

Ex-Boston big man Daniel Theis added another 11 points, 5 boards and 2 assists in 22:21 minutes of play, making up for Schroder’s yips with 55.6% shooting from the floor, 33.3% from 3-point range and no personal fouls or turnovers.

Boston alum Dennis Schroder gets 18 points, 9 assists for Germany vs. Bosnia

Fellow Celtics alumnus Daniel Theis had an off game by comparison, scoring 2 points and 6 boards in the 92-82 win for Germany.

Boston Celtics alumnus Dennis Schroder helped carry the German National Team to a 92-82 win over the Bosnian and Herzegovinian National Team on Saturday while fellow Boston alum Daniel Theis had a bit of an off game in the EuroBasket victory.

While Theis only managed to chip in 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting overall and going 0-of-2 from beyond the arc, he was able to chip in 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 22:35 minutes of floor time. Schroder also had an off game shooting as well, putting up 18 points on 35.3% shooting for the contest along with 3 boards, 9 assists, and a steal to help secure the win.

Both Theis and Schroder both last played for the Celtics in the 2021-22 NBA season but never played together for Boston given they were dealt as part of a package for one another at the 2022 NBA trade deadline.

Unlike the two traded player exceptions Boston already has on their roster, Boston could only use it on a player in the last year of their current contract. https://t.co/WS2ZzGcKNZ

Celtics alum Dennis Schroder points to Germany’s chemistry for early EuroBasket success

‘I think everybody is happy for each other. It doesn’t matter who scores the basket, everybody is happy and that’s the way to go,’ said the former Boston guard.

Led by Boston Celtics alumni Daniel Theis and Dennis Schroder, the German National Team is off to a great start in 2022 EuroBasket play with an unexpected win over the French National Team in their first game of the European Basketball Championship series, as the quadrennial competition for basketball hegemony is called on that continent.

Schroder spoke with the press soon after Germany’s auspicious start to the competition with their win over the 2020 Tokyo Olympic silver medalists, relating how he believed that the German National Team was getting synergistic production from a newfound degree of chemistry previously absent from previous iterations of the team.

“I think our team chemistry is amazing,” Schroder said in an interview with Eurohoops TV. “I think we just have to keep leading.”

Several Boston Celtics alumni faced off in Germany’s surprise 76-63 EuroBasket win over France

Guerschon Yabusele led France with 18 points, a block, and an assist in the loss.

Several Boston Celtics alumni faced off in the German National Team’s surprise 76-63 win over the French National Team on Thursday, which saw former Celtics center Guerschon Yabusele led France with 18 points, a block, and an assist in the loss, with ex-Boston big man Vincent Poirier putting up another 8 points, 4 boards, an assist, and 2 steals. Wing and Celtics alum Evan Fournier added another 7 points, 2 rebounds, an assist, and a steal.

For Germany, Dennis Schroder chipped in 11 points, a board, 5 assists, and a steal, while old friend Daniel Theis put up another 8 points, 6 boards, an assist, and a steal to help secure the upset win over the 2020 Olympic silver medalists from Tokyo.

“No one said it’s going to be easy,” said French (and Minnesota Timberwolves) center Rudy Gobert via Eurohoops’ Antonis Stroggylakis. “We are facing this team at their home.”

“We aren’t good today. We got way too many turnovers. And they were very physical. We got to find ways to play our game when the other team is physical and the game isn’t played our way.”

Former Boston big man Daniel Theis makes German National Team for EuroBasket play

The former Celtics center was a late call due to injury concerns.

Daniel Theis was initially feared by Germany to be out for the quadrennial EuroBasket competition taking place in four locations across Europe. However, the former Boston Celtics big man has been cleared at the last minute, according to new reporting from Eurohoops.

Theis joins a fairly stacked German team that includes former Celtic Dennis Schroder and Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner. Magic big man Moritz Wagner — another former Celtic — did not make the team.

Per Eurohoops, Germany has one more player to cut, but it seems fairly likely neither Schroder or Theis will be that player, health willing.

Slated to complete in Group B for EuroBasket play in Cologne, Germany, Theis and the rest of the German team are in one of the toughest groups. The group contains defending EuroBasket champion Slovenia, Olympic silver medalist France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania and Hungary in addition to Germany.

Celtics alum Dennis Schroder cleared to play for Germany against Slovenia, Luka Doncic

Fellow Boston alumni Daniel Theis and Mo Wagner remain on the injured list for the German National Team.

The German National Team reportedly has its captain back. Former Boston Celtics floor general Dennis Schroder was cleared to return to play ahead of the EuroBasket competition, which begins across the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 1, per new reporting from Eurohoops’ Johnny Askounis.

The point guard missed the Germans’ last exhibition game with a nonspecific ankle injury. Schroder played 49 games for the Celtics during the 2021-22 NBA season before being dealt at the 2022 NBA trade deadline to the Houston Rockets as part of the package for fellow German teammate Daniel Theis, who is also out injured along with fellow Boston big man alum Moritz Wagner.

Boston Celtics EuroBasket news: Alum Daniel Theis questionable for Germany; Danilo Gallinari, Luigi Datome return from injury

Danilo Gallinari and fellow Cs alum Luigi Datome are available for Italy again, while ex-Boston big Daniel Theis may miss the competition.

The alumni of the Boston Celtics currently taking part in the 2022 EuroBasket competition may end up getting thinner than initially expected, but the injury bug does seem to be improving for at least a pair of Boston alumni currently taking part in the first such EuroBasket competition since the start of the pandemic.

We are speaking about news that former Celtics center Daniel Theis may be at risk of missing EuroBasket play despite recent reporting that both current Boston forward Danilo Gallinari and Theis would likely sit for the remaining exhibition games before the competition begins next week due to injury.

Initially, Theis and Gallo were seen as probable to return to play in the EuroBasket in an article by Eurohoops, with the remaining qualifier schedule in doubt for the pair.

12 Boston Celtics alumni participating in 2022 EuroBasket

The EuroBasket is back with one current Celtics player and 11 alumni.

A number of alumni from the Boston Celtics are planning to play in the 2022 EuroBasket competition, the first in five years due to the pandemic. Currently slated to start in two weeks with 34 total NBA players on 17 different teams, the EuroBasket competition — in full, the European Basketball Championship — normally takes place every four years with up to 24 teams participating.

Historically, it had previously run every two years, but now has switched to a similar model as the FIBA World Cup, and the last was held in 2017 before the pandemic, with conditions in 2021 deemed too fraught to hold the competition. But now the EuroBasket is back with one current Celtics player and 11 alumni.

Let’s take a look at them all.

Every Boston Celtics player appearance on ‘Shaqtin’a Fool’ since 2011

Watch the clip to see the worst (or at least the funniest) of the Celtics over the last decade and a year.

While it might not be an honor to appear on former Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O’Neal‘s “Shaqtin a Fool” segment on TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” a fair number of Boston players making a guest appearance over the years. The segment, for the uninitiated, is effectively the blooper reel of the dumbest, funniest or weirdest things Shaq and company caught on video that week.

Now, YouTuber and Celtics fan videographer Danielle Hobeika put together an all-time compilation of when Celtics players made the show. The list includes Rajon Rondo, Mikael Pietrus, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Kris Humphries, Vitor Faverani, Kelly Olynyk, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Al Horford, Gerald Green, Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, and Glen “Big Baby” Davis.

Celtics trading Theis, Nesmith, Stauskas, Fitts, Morgan, ’23 first for Indiana Pacers’ Malcolm Brogdon

The club reportedly was after a ‘true playmaking point guard’ for next season, relates Woj.

The Boston Celtics threw expectations a fairly major curveball on Friday with news from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that the team will trade for Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon. Per Woj, Boston is sending out veteran big man Daniel Theis, reserve wing Aaron Nesmith, and reserves Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, and Juwan Morgan.

The Celtics will also reportedly include a 2023 first-round draft pick to sweeten the offer for the Pacers. “The Celtics wanted to land a true playmaking point guard and now acquire Malcolm Brogdon without costing themselves a core player,” writes the ESPN NBA insider. “The Pacers land another first-round pick in the deal.”

The Celtics now have an additional four roster spots to fill via trades or minimum deals, and armed with multiple significant traded player exceptions — the largest at $17.1 million — will be active on multiple fronts in the coming hours and days.

This is the full range of players Boston could focus on to take into their largest traded player exception. https://t.co/xLseuQfzEi

Brogdon has averaged 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 37.6% from deep over his career of 6 seasons, all spent with the Pacers.
